Dassault Systèmes' TCO enhances the company's PLM return on investment

Enterprises are constantly trying to reduce costs and enhance their competitive advantage. Reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of IT solutions by deploying superior Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) architectures and solutions that not only reduce IT costs, but also improve productivity by optimizing business processes for the entire product development enterprise Bring more advantages.

This article describes CIMdata's Dassault Systèmes V6 platform and product suite (ENOVIA V6 for global collaborative lifecycle management, CATIA V6 for designing virtual products, DELMIA V6 for virtual production, and SIMULIA V6 for virtual testing) Analysis of the effects of reducing TCO throughout the product development cycle and comparison with other PLM kits. This article also describes how companies can add value with the V6 suite. The following sections cover the following:

• Industry Background and Challenges – provides a brief overview of the challenges companies face in implementing an enterprise PLM strategy.

• Factors Affecting PLM TCO – A brief discussion of the benefits and costs of using an enterprise-featured PLM solution.

• V6 and its TCO – how V6 reduces the TCO of implementing an enterprise PLM solution.

• Summary and conclusions – a brief summary of the paper and a review of the conclusions.

Industry background and challenges

TCO involves the costs and benefits of the enterprise and plays an important role in the deployment strategy of PLM. TCO-related information can be used to guide companies on how to choose a PLM solution and its ongoing deployment and advancement.

PLM's TCO includes many factors, such as the cost and benefits of deploying CAD, PDM, digital manufacturing, analytics, and other aspects of the PLM strategy in the product/project lifecycle, as well as the infrastructure and resources needed to support PLM. The various factors above are detailed in the following sections.

Experience has shown that the cost of PLM and other IT deployments has been relatively high, and companies have performed poorly in terms of balancing costs and actual benefits. The company does not analyze all the factors that affect the TCO, so the TCO is always underestimated. PLMTCO affects the cost of doing business for companies of all sizes, from large multinationals to medium-sized companies.

From an integration perspective, companies that want to implement PLM must consider how the system integrates seamlessly with other solutions in the enterprise product development process, such as ERP. We often need to increase the level of integration as much as possible, which requires us to do a lot of work to improve the marginal return. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based solutions are guaranteed

In the case of a loosely coupled system, ensuring that the system evolves is flexible enough to address integration challenges.

From a business perspective, improved toolkit integration will bring a lot of revenue and lower the cost of ownership. Many companies want to achieve the goal of making better use of global resources across the enterprise. An all-in-one package built on the unified database concept helps people better share different types of product definition information. An integrated, consistent IT infrastructure is also global

The team's 24/7 product design collaboration provides a powerful foundation for not only sharing data sets, but also providing a unified set of tools.

Providing a unified environment for different work teams can also lay a solid foundation for helping them understand and address today's complex global compliance issues that have a major impact on product design.

Careful development of strategies based on business needs helps to avoid cost out of control. However, we must ensure that the solution achieves a realistic and effective balance based on actual business needs in order to implement the best strategy.

Centrifuge Test Tube

The advantage of the plastic centrifuge tube is that it is transparent or translucent, its hardness is small, and the gradient can be taken out by the puncture method. The disadvantage is that it is easy to deform, has poor corrosion resistance to organic solvents, and has a short service life.

Plastic Centrifuge Tubes have caps, which are used to prevent sample leakage, especially when used for radioactive or highly corrosive samples. It is very important to prevent sample leakage; the tube cap also has a function to prevent sample volatilization. And support the centrifuge tube to prevent deformation of the centrifuge tube. When choosing this point, you should also pay attention to check whether the tube cover is tight, and whether it can be tightly covered during the test, so as to achieve the inversion without leakage;
